Its pretty sad that a management that suffers both from institutionalised arrogance and a low intelligence scatter, particularly in FOP.. has to stipulate that its pilot losses through resignation are manageable and appropriate. Once again, its a prime indicator to their marginalisation of crews such that the main stream of the organisation, (those who pen push in a 9 to 5 existence), can rally with the propaganda from HR and provide momentum to the ostracising of the pilot body per se. The latest piece from Tom Owens made NO mention of those on the line flying their aircraft..not one mention. He speaks about leadership and so called "teams". HAECO gets a passing nod but absolutely NO discussion lean towards the pilot body. So thus, the agenda is clear. The dichotomy here is one of basics. The wood for the trees…where CX is an airline; it IS a brand and that brand is carried shoulders high by both the pilots and the cabin staff. The health of the airline is metres by those who work at its coal face, NOT those that enjoy a side bolt existence as add ons and niceties that place the furry balls on the mirrors and that includes the so called peoples department. HR/personnel is a tertiary annexe to any company after it has settled into a trimester regime and begun to post profit. It does not lead the company and in no way represents the way that the company functions, it is merely a litmus to employing, employment and personnel management. It has NO function beyond the office door and has no part in the way the SOP's, the absolute way we fly or the fundamentals of operation organise the shape of our operation. The so called "time to win", previous mission statements (mostly void of purpose or content and meaning), are sliders to allow us to enjoy the beatings we are all about to receive. What I do find bizarre, is the complete lack of hubris that senior directorship, as part of winning us on side with their mantra, might have shown..if only to win the C scale vote..and as HFK mentioned..if I may paraphrase..its just a matter of time...
